About us

WE HAVE BEEN BEHIND SOME OF THE BIGGEST SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE INNOVATIONS OF THE LAST 3 DECADES.

We launched first hemp programs for Adidas, Levi’s, Nike, Patagonia, VF and others. We were the first to bring organic linen, oilseed flax, oilseed hemp and RPET acrylic alternative textiles blends to major global retailers. We also invented Agraloop™, the 1st Prize winning technology in H&M Foundation’s Global Change Award, considered the “Nobel Prize of Sustainable Fashion.”

OUR DNA

EMBRACE NATURE + PURSUE ABUNDANCE
